Requiem for the Rocket Men (#4.3)

Big Finish, Fourth Doctor Series

This story begins
with the same question that starts the other two Rocket Men stories – “How do
you know…” and it’s fantastic! It’s very confusing at first because there’s one
track of the story then we’re thrown into almost the middle of the story, where
the Doctor’s in a prison cell. But I just kept on listening and wow, this one
is pretty amazing. As they point out in the interviews at the end, for once the
Master comes into the story in the middle of the Doctor’s plans and is catching
up the whole time. Except the Doctor even planned for HIM. This story is
magnificent in every way – another John Dorney gem! The only thing I didn’t
like is the ending with Leela, but that’s needed to lead into the next story.
But I hate that the Master is into taking companions in Big Finish stories
these days (See Dark Eyes 2 as well).
